Hey all,

Anyone familiar with the state of Raptor Lake performance + efficiency cores in Linux? I’m specifically curious about how the kernel balances things when running multiple containers (without pinned CPUs)

Thanks!

    Yes, this is the case, I’m more wondering about kernel support for CPU assignment as it relates to those processes.

      I think that what you’re looking for is “CPU affinity”, but that is not something I know anything about.

      In the 40+ years I’ve been playing with computers, I’ve always let the OS worry about where and when to run a process and only rarely do I renice a process that needs to run, but not at the expense of everything else.

        Agreed, just want to make sure the kernel can handle resourcing for two different types of cores. I know there was a time (recent) where it couldn’t. Others have said 6.x is the key.
